6/30/86
This was another one for which there was basically one aud circulating for years that was listenable but overly bright and like the contemporary Alpine auds, sometimes peaking. The power of these shows though. They pack a punch and overwhelm the meek mic, I presume. There are two new auds of this show posted and they are both great but this one has a little more presence and depth. Phil rumbles under you like in the stupendous Bertha that kicks open the door of the second set. But first, the first set. I’d listened to it so many times back in the day that I think I knew every note of the out there Stranger and contemplative FOTD. Big River hits that groove you want it to and during Loser, you’re thinking “oh they played that here last year”, if you were there which I wasn’t but I thought it anyway. A late set West L. A. Benefits from them being incredibly “on” and comfortable enough at that point in the set to produce a really solid, definitive version of a song I’m not always psyched to hear in the tuneup (yes I’m from Boston). Let it Grow, which I do hope to hear them readying, closes the set. It’s long and fully explored for an ’86 version; in fact, the more I listen to 86 shows, the more I think my prejudices about that year being plagued by rushed sets and curtailed jams may be only partly true.
As I said earlier, the Bertha set 2 opener is monstrous with Phil pushing it from beneath and Bobby yelping his harmony like his head is also out the car window watching for Bertha herself truckin’ down the road. Women are Smarter is a good one, getting the crowd going at the end with a rave up that raves up a little longer than usual, but then after so many Women Are Smarters and Looks Like Rain I always find myself thinking “wow, Bobby really brought that to a new level by the end” and this one is no different. I feel also I could hear the metacognition of the character come through more strongly than usual too. I must be high. Anyway, the Ship of Fools is also strong; the band is focused tonight, lyrics go unflubbed and solos seem a little more pointed than usual, like the one in this Ship of Fools. Smokestack is a surprise and it shares the same flawless quality as does the He’s Gone and suddenly it looks like the Dead is pitching a perfect game. Can they sustain this out of drums? They playing so well might they consider another Crypical since they played He’s Gone last year and attached one? Some surely must think this. Crowd is also on, clapping along in anticipation. Nothin’ gonna bring him back gets a little spacey at the end with echoes on the vocals and a swelling organ and it’s almost like they might be trying to transition back into Smokestack or maybe just fade into drums when it gets a little unhinged for a moment and then into the Grateful Dead shuffle down the E-progression. Jerry commences scrubbing, Brent plays back and forth with Jerry on that for a few bars and then suddenly, it is Drums which commence with the big drums on the Beast or its remnants at that point, I forget. This transitions isn’t a very pleasant and hypnotic between drums and marimbas that goes on for several minutes, the marimba eventually being supplanted by talking drums. The mics are high enough to hide most of the audience chit chat. The Beam’s arrival to the party takes care of that more directly. Train whistle sounds and bells with an ominous rumble in the distance. Space is a run ethereal and features a sample of delay settings from Bobby as he runs up and down the neck of the guitar. An obvious transition into Miracle reveals that the band has the same energy and focus they had pre-Drums and the set closes out with the solid trifecta, substituting the usual Sugar Mag that tends to follow a Stella Blue from this period with a sexy Good Lovin with Bobby breaking fourth wall and exhorting the crowd to reach out and just grab it, an outdated sentiment arguably. Jerry definitely says “dose” in Quinn. If you want to know what it was all about, listen to this recording of this show.

JB, PM and I drove from Alpine, after graduating rom LHS, which was a waste of time, except that it was njear other shows such as 11/7/85. Time was near space and soit was. This is far from home though, were from Boston, but its not too far for an 18 year old a nineteen year old and a seventeen year old. so we went and wheres the sbd.....rating is for the show quality is an OFI.
